One pin broke off on the back of the plastic top to my DGB 300BK Grind and Brew and after several temporary fixes, I need to find a new top. The grinding cycle still works if I hold the top just right, but who wants to hold the top in place while it brews too. Does anyone know where I can purchase a new top?

Here is the link (this is for a mac) Cruisinart COFFEE BAR Automatic Grind Brew DGB 300 SERIES MANUAL...
or there is a website called manualonline.com

Hi
I dont but have you looked on ebay ?
Or alternatively you will have to get one from your local cuisinart service agent in your country.

Hello stowawayray,
Cuisinart won't sell parts directly except to small appliance dealers. Hope this helps. FixYa frequently lists parts suppliers in the ads. Kind regards, NormanZ

i downloaded the owners manual at http://www.cuisinartwebstore.com/detail/CUI+DGB-300BK
and resolved it by reading the manual. ( i had lost my original )

You can download the manual here.

The Automatic Shutoff Time can be programmed
anywhere from immediate shutoff
after completion of the brew cycle up to four
hours. When the coffeemaker shuts itself off,
two tones will sound. Four hours is the default
time. The 0:00 setting shuts the unit off immediately
after brewing is complete. To check the
current setting, press the “On/Off” button and
the Automatic Shutoff Time will be displayed.
To change the preset time, press and hold the
“On/Off” button until the red “power” light
begins to flash. This signals that you have
entered the “Set Automatic Shutoff” mode.
Press the “Hours” and “Minutes” buttons
to scroll forward through the digits until
desired time appears. The first setting which
appears is preset at “4:00” and the next
display will be “0:00”, since four hours is the
maximum Automatic Shutoff setting. Pressing
and holding either button will allow you to
scroll continuously, slowly at first, and then to
accelerate to the rate of about three digits per
second. As the desired time setting approaches,
release the button and then press repeatedly
to advance one digit at a time.
The Automatic Shutoff Time (ASO) may be
programmed either before or during coffee
brewing. You may also re-program the ASO
time when brewing has been completed. If you
do so, the Automatic Grind & Brew™ will automatically
account for any time that has already
elapsed after brewing.

Beeping: Push the cover to the grinder down as far as possible. If that doesn't stop the beeping, clean out that hole with a toothpick.

You have not missed anything. Unplugging for longer than 16 minutes (has 15-minute memory) is the only troubleshooting you can perform. Call Cuisinart to find out if you are still in warranty. All electronics have a failure rate. Cuisinart's is acceptably low, but their coffee makers are the least reliable of all their products. The basic problem with electronic coffee makers is that coffee makers produce high heat, and high heat kills electronics and melts plastic. At least Cuisinart has a 3-year warranty - higher than the industry standard.

Let me put it another way. All coffee makers have a high failure rate. As many Cuisinart coffee makers that break down, the non-Grind-and-Brews still have a 91 rating from Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports doesn't give ANYTHING a 91 rating. A lot break, but you probably won't fare much better by switching to a different brand. The problem with a Cuisinart breaking down is that an expensive unit broke down - you wouldn't be upset if your $15 Mr. Coffee broke every year. The law of averages is on your side - a 2nd Cuisinart will probably last longer.
